If you have had the opportunity to test the Umbro UX-1, I think you will agree that they are a quality power boot with a lot of upside on the pitch. Well, Umbro has doubled their appeal by producing a concept pair in a complete Blackout colorway. These things look …

As we approach the halfway point in October the warmer summer days are becoming a distant memory and we are bracing ourselves for the coming of Winter. With that the nights are getting longer; the temperature is dropping and game play is being dictated by the wind, rain and snow. …

You can never doubt Nike and their abilities when it comes to delivering the next big thing to hit the market. This time around it is a new version of the high profile Mercurial Superfly range that features a mix of technology found on the new Magista, and modified technology from …

So unless you were living under a rock Tuesday afternoon you would have heard about the goings on in the Capital One Cup (that most important piece of footballing hardware). The second round of the Cup is where the big clubs enter, and if you happen to live in London’s …

It’s been about two months now, since Bryan gave us his review of Umbro’s new concept boot the UX-1. Now it’s a boot which really piqued my interest, and not just because it marks the English brands first true foray into the boot market (the GeoFlare saw a limited release, and little …

In order to continue their positive charge on the boot market, Warrior sent some time modifying and re-engineering their control boot, the Gambler II. Out of their 3 releases to date, this was the boot that received least attention and there was an expected wave of change needed for the …

Straight from Pan, the company from Thailand, I present to you the Pan Super Sonic III (which was also made in Thailand)! Other than my experience with x-blades this is my second jaunt out into the sea of obscure branded cleats. Most of you haven’t heard of the brand until this February …

It started off with an unexpected tweet a week ago from Sporting Lisbon and England Youth International Eric Dier, which simply stated “Looking forward to using these #UX1 #fortheloveofboots” and included the picture above.
